USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

Beware of swindlers travelling

"A Cure for Earache: Roast an
onion in the ashes; when done put in q
cloth and squeeze the juice into
spoon. Pour into the ear while quite
warm, but not hot enough to burma
very little more than blood warm; put
hot cloth over the ear; and. if it is an
ache from cold or any common cause.
it will cease in few mOments.-N0tk-
er'sNagazine.
An English food inspector. Mr..
James Bell, finds that horseflesh and
beef can not be positively distinguished
by external appearance. but that the
fat is a reliable test. The horse-fat is
fluid at a temperature Of 10 degrees.
and has specific gravity at 100 de-
grees of about 908.7; while the fat of
beef melts at 40 to 12O degrees. and is
considerably lighter. The low melting
point of the fat will show when sau-
sages are made from hOrse-meat-CAi-
cago Tribune.
With rapidly increasing popula-
ton there will be danger of excessive
DEAFNESS of meat, such as prevails in
the densely populated countries of Eu-
rope. and from this we can only be
saved by such improvement in breeds
of stock as will produce beef at less
cost. On cheap lands the short-horns.
aiming at beef production almost ex-
clusively. have been best adapted to
this end. But in the older sections of
the country, where labor and skill
combine to Offset the increased price Of
land, the HOlsteins, bred for milk and
butter as well as beef, will certainly
have the preference. - Boston Tran

busting About Stoves.

A good deal of busting around coal
stoves and open fires may be done to
advantage with a damp sponge. An
experienced house-keeper uses large,
coarse sponge. once devoted to wash
ing carriages. Throw it into pail of
warm water. and add a teaspOonful of
spirits of ammonia. Squeeze it out as
dry as possible and pass it quickly over
the plain furniture, the paint. the zinc,
the corners of the carpets, the oilcloth,
etc. rinsing out occasionally. 1t will
remove every bit of dirt, and not
merely disperse it into the room. as
cloth or feather duster too often does,
and leave bright, shining, clear sur
face that is very gratifying. While
you have the pail in hand you will find
it easy to wipe off finger marks or
traces of that CRIME which seems to
come. no one knows how. You give a
cleansing touch here and there to
doors, cupbOard-shelves or tables. with
very little loss of time. and without
any of that deliberate effort required
for regular cleaning.-BostoS Budget.

NY FLOWER.

An In the early morning hours
walked through blooming garden bowers,
Where purple pinks and pansies grew,
And noses sparkled in the dew.
They were SO lovely in my sight,
i plucked the rcd ones and the white,
Aud with full hands wandered down
Until reached the busy town.
Then round me, like swarm OF bees,
Came ragged children. crying "Please!

The law for parents is addressed to
fathers" partly because mother
tenderness needs the warning ''provoke
not your children" less than fathers
more rigorous rule usually does, and
partly because the father is regarded
rs the head of the household. 1t is full
of practical sagacity. How do parents
provoke their children? By unreason-
able commands. by perpetual restric-
tons, by capricious jerks at the bride,
alternating with as capricious dropping
the reins altogether, by not governing
their own tempers, by shrill or stern
tones where quiet, soft ones would do,
by frequent checks and rebukes and
sparing praise. And what is sure to
follow such mistreatment by father OK
mother? First as the parallel passage
in Ephesians has it, ''wrath''-bursts
of temper, for which probably the
child is punished and the
parent is guilty and then

leads to a ranking sense of injustice,
and then to recklessness is use
less to try any more" And when a
child or man loses heart. there will
he no more obedience. Paul's theory
of the training of children is closely
connected with his central doctrine
that love is the life of service. and faith
the parent of righteousness. To him
hope and gladness and confident love
underlie all obedience. When a child
loves and trusts he will obey. When
he fears and has to think of his father
as capricious. exacting or stern. he will
do like the man in the parable, who
was afraid because he thought of his
master as austers reaping where he
did not SOW. and went and hid his
talent Children's obedience must be
fed on love and praise.-N. Y. Herald

Contagion Of Anthrax.

Animals dying of anthrax-splenic
fever-are liable to communicate the
disease to men who handle their car
cases, even though it be for immediate
burial. The privy council of Great
Britain have, therefore, sent notice to
local authorities throughout the king
dom. and caused it to be widely pub
lished, that this danger exists, and that
such carcasses should not be skinned.
but covered with Yuicklime and buried
at least six feet deep. Persons who
have any abrasions of the skin upon
their hands or arms should not

and burned, and the stalls. of course.

I'm blissful ignorance that the pea
cock was esteemed . famous dinner
dainty by epicures before Paris itself
was famous, a correspondent in Paris
writes thus: 1.-The most novel feature
of the entertainment was the appear
ance Of a roasted peacock. decked in
all its feathers. a beautiful and decOra-
tive object to look at as well as very
delicious bird to eat. The introduction
of the peacock as the course of game
at grand dinner parties is the newest
feature of the season. and one can only
wonder why fowl of such delicate
flesh, as well as of such superb plum
age, should have been so long neglect
ed by gourmands. ~ O. Iimes-Dens-

GOOD DISINFECTANTS.


How Many Iive-StCcls Diseases and All.
menta May BE Prevented.
Cheaper than cure. especially with
livestock. is prevention. While with
many contagious diseases, it is, of
course, often impossible to keep ami
mails from being attacked. yet by using
good care valuable aid may be given
in keeping the stock intact. If kept in
a good. thrifty condition. and with
reference to good health. there is very
much less danger of animals being at
tackled. and if attacked, they are in a
much better condition 70 Withstand the
inroads of disease.
Filth breeds disease. and is Indirect
ly the principal cause of the larger
proportion Of diseases in our livestock.
And when stock are kept reasonably
clean. and are provided with warm.
clean. dry quarters. and are fed upon
clean food. ordinarily such stock will
be healthy. In order to do this to the
best advantage, it will be necessary to
thoroughly disinfect the poultry house,
pig pens, COW and horse stables, and
the sheep sheds. All need thorough
cleaning, and when difficulty arises,
disinfection. Especially should thor
ough work in this direction be given in
the spring. In a great majority Of in
stances the stock have been more or
less confined, and as q natural cOnse-
quence these places have become more
or less foul, and in such case it will
almost certainly cause disease or breed
parasites, in some respects fully as
bad as disease. Where the pens are
close enough to admit of thorough
work. burning roll sulphur is a good
add a little old grease, 80
that it will burn we'll. Crude carbolic
acid is another good. cheap material
that can be used to good advantage.
As it is poison if taken internally.
some care must be taken in using.
The places should be thoroughly cleaned
out and then the carbOlic acid,
diluted with water. be applied freely.
A good brush will, for most purposes.
be the best. as it will reach the cracks
to the best advantage. Lime applied
az whitewash is very valuable to pu-
rify. and also to destroy germs and
parasites. Carbolic acid can be added
TO the lime whitewash :fter it is made,
and it will be all the more valuable.
Any of these are cheap. and should be
used literally in the spring, after
cleaning up. The work should be done
early. oefore the warm days
come on. and other farm work becomes
TOO pressing.-Farm, Field ossd Stock

Within two days the Listener witnessed
couple of incidents on Washington street,
which illustrated admirably the difference
| there is in people. Passing along near the
corner of 1emple-place he saw two stout
elderly ladies standing side by side-one
| facing one way, however, and the other the
other way, glaring at each other with furi-
Gus eyes. There wasa little grinning crowd
about them, and when the Listener came
quite up to them he saw what was the mat
| ter In meeting and undertaking to pass,
the clothing of these two elderly ladies had
come in contact, and a projecting button
| upon the dress of one had caught in the lace
on the garments of the other. Their strain
| to disentangle themselves had drawn them
into a regular snarl; the wrath of each had
been reused to the boiling point, and each
woman seemed to be exclaiming in the Ian
guage of Scripture. "Who shall deliver me
| from this body of death" Instead of leav-
ing the Acknowledgement to one of the two,
| to be managed with elaboration and discre-
ton, each was tugging away spitefully at the
point of jointure. There seemed to be like
| libood of an occasion for the Interference of
the police presently, for the faces of the two
| ladies were growing redder and redder, and
! their eyes snapped more and more furi-
ously Presently one lady gave desperate
tug, the lace gave way and the tie was sew

whose lace had been lacerated!
| Next day, passing over almost the same

brown-eyed, ruddy-cheeked, and short
haired and stout Irish woman in bonnet
a red and black shawl and a green popln
| dress, who were walking in opposite direct

The young girl smiled family and good-na-
